Chapter 161

"T-That isn't possible! How could Elsie do such a shameless thing? Back then, she loved our Joshua so

much, so there's no way she could have a baby with another man. You must be lying to me! That child

looks so much like Joshua, so there's no way she's not his child!" Emma rebuked heatedly, dropping all

her previous pretense at once as she was outraged by Jennifer's words.

"Hmph. You treasure your Joshua, but not my Elsie. You had treated her badly, and you still expect her

to stay single forever just for Joshua? Get your *ss out of here. Get out! Get out, now!" Jennifer had

long since seen through the true nature of Emma. Seeing Emma's attitude at the moment, Jennifer

immediately stepped forward and pushed her toward the door.

"Jennifer, I—" Emma wanted to say more, but Jennifer did not give her any chance and pushed her out

of the house.

"Scram! Don't ever set foot in our house again! If I find you harassing Kathy next time, I won't let you off

easy! Cough, cough, cough…" While Jennifer was getting agitated, she coughed violently.

Joaquin had just come out of the elevator when he saw the situation. With a hint of worry showing on

his face, he hurriedly stepped forward to push Emma away. Then, he asked Jennifer with concern,

"Grandma, what's the matter? Please calm down. Let's head inside and sit down to talk things out,

okay?"

Emma stared blankly at Joaquin, who had appeared suddenly, as she wondered about his relationship

with the Olsen Family.

When Katherine heard the conversation in the living room had turned heated, she opened the door to

come out and check the situation.

Seeing Joaquin was there, she was stunned. However, she quickly recovered and walked over to take

Jennifer's pulse.

Her pulse was erratic as she was highly irritated.

"Grandma was getting too agitated, so I'll take her in to calm her down first. As for Mrs. Rosenburg, I'll

leave her to you," Katherine instructed Joaquin while helping Jennifer to get into her room.

While being helped into the house by Katherine, Jennifer was so irritated that she continued to bark, "I'll

have you know, you shameless old thing, you are not allowed to disturb Kathy again! If you come

again, I'll beat you up! Cough, cough…"

"Grandma, your body can't handle too much stress. If you want to protect me, take care of your body

first. What if something happens to you?" Katherine scolded with a stern face.

Jennifer felt guilty and did not dare to look into Katherine's eyes as she spoke in a muffled voice, "Well,

you have to promise me one thing then; don't ever believe in anyone's nonsense, no matter who they

are. I won't listen to you if you don't promise me."

Katherine could not help but laugh at Jennifer's childish words. She then looked at Jennifer with

resignation before giving in with a sigh. "Okay, I promise you. No matter who tells me nonsense, I won't

believe them until I ask you about it. Will that be all right?"

"That's more like it. And you are not allowed to meet that woman again because she's evil and has no

good intentions. Got it?" Jennifer warned in concern.

Katherine agreed to everything she said and finally calmed her down before going out the door to

check the situation.

Joaquin blocked the entrance while looking at Emma with a cold expression to warn her not to come

any closer.

However, Emma did not leave and stood outside the door while looking into the house.

At this moment, Katherine walked out and glanced at Emma, then asked lightly, "Mrs. Rosenburg, is

this what you wanted to do when you asked me to allow you to meet my elder? If that's the case, I'm

sorry to tell you that we do not welcome you to our house, and please do not appear before me from

now on."

"Before that, can you please tell me your birth year?" Emma asked hurriedly, eager to know the

answer. Emma had to be sure about Katherine's age to avoid mistaking her for Joshua's daughter.

Otherwise, it would be a waste of effort to persuade her to join the Rosenburg Family.

"It's none of your business. Joaquin, close the door," Katherine replied impatiently before glancing at

Joaquin.

Joaquin was stunned by how Katherine addressed him at first before starting to feel giddy. He then

obeyed her order and closed the door behind him as soon as he entered the house.

Even though Emma wished to speak as she opened her mouth, none of the words came out, and she

could only watch the door close before her.

Then, she stood at the door long before raising her hand to wipe her tears and muttered soon after, "It's

alright. I won't give up. Whether the Rosenburg Family can rise from the ashes depends on Katherine.

If she is Rosenburg's descendant, then the family will be saved. So, I absolutely can't give up."

With that, Emma turned and left with a determined look.

"How did you get involved with the Rosenburg Family?" After entering the house, Joaquin asked as he

saw Katherine annoyed face.

She then glanced at him. "You know the Rosenburg Family?"

"Not really. We just had some contacts in the past; it was mainly with the eldest son of the Rosenburg

Family, though." He shook his head and answered honestly.

"Is that so? Grandma knows them. And by the looks of it, they have deep grudges for one another."

She could not help frowning when she thought of Jennifer's behavior.

She had lived with Jennifer for many years, yet she never realized that Jennifer still hid so many

secrets from her. First, it was about her identity, and now it was about a past with the Rosenburg

Family.

Mr. Muller has mentioned that the Rosenburg Family has a superior status because Alex had rescued a

big shot back then. I guess there is still some past in the Olsen Family that I don't know.

"I'll have someone to investigate this." Joaquin pursed his lips as his expression was serious.

Katherine wanted to say no initially, but after putting some thoughts in, she figured that the investigation

should still be within the scope of his job to protect Jennifer's safety.

"Okay." She nodded and agreed. After contemplating for a while, she took a translucent glass bottle

from her pocket and handed it to him. "This is for you."

"Huh?" He took it over in confusion. The glass bottle in his hand was beautiful; it had a delicate

engraving on it, and there were colorful pills inside as if it was candy for children.

"It's an oral medicine. Take two pills a week. And please keep them with you; maybe one day they can

be useful," she calmly explained without saying much.

He knew that anything given by Katherine would be good stuff, so he silently put the bottle into his

pocket before saying, "Thank you."
